Creamy Alfredo Sauce: Hormone-Supportive, Metabolism-Boosting Comfort Food

If you’ve been looking for a creamy, cozy dinner that feels indulgent but still supports your health goals — this recipe is for you.

This Creamy Cottage Cheese Alfredo Sauce is part of my Hormone Harmony program and was designed to help you:

• Support healthy weight loss without feeling restricted

• Naturally stimulate GLP-1, the satiety hormone that helps reduce cravings and control appetite

• Balance hormones with steady blood sugar support

• Boost metabolism by providing clean, high-quality protein

Unlike traditional Alfredo sauce loaded with heavy cream and butter, this version is light, protein-packed, and blood-sugar friendly — so you can enjoy creamy comfort food and keep moving toward your goals.

How to Serve It

Pair this luscious sauce with:

• Zucchini noodles (zoodles) for a veggie-forward, nutrient-dense dinner

• Hearts of palm fettuccine for a pasta-like experience with fewer carbs

• Liviva noodles to boost fiber and keep you full

• Spaghetti squash for a cozy, fall-inspired twist

• Or drizzle over grilled chicken and veggies for a quick, balanced meal

No matter which option you choose, you’ll be left satisfied — not sluggish.

The Recipe

Creamy Cottage Cheese Alfredo Sauce

Prep Time: 5 minutes | Serves: 2 generous portions

Ingredients:

• ¾ cup cottage cheese (ideally 2% for hormone support — full-fat is more satiating and gentle on blood sugar)

• ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk (or filtered water if you prefer)

• 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (adds cheesy flavor and B-vitamins without dairy)

• 1 clove garlic, minced or ¼ tsp garlic powder

• ½ teaspoon onion powder

• ¼ teaspoon sea salt (adjust to taste)

• Fresh ground pepper, to taste

• Optional: 1–2 teaspoons lemon juice (for brightness)

• Optional: Pinch of nutmeg (classic in Alfredo sauces)

Instructions:

Add all ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend on high until smooth and creamy. Scrape down sides if needed.

Pour into a small saucepan and heat gently over low-medium heat, stirring frequently until warmed through (do not boil).

Serve immediately over your choice of noodles, spaghetti squash, or vegetables.
